Chemotaxis: Dendritic cells as trendsetters of the immune response

Amy L Shergold et al. Curr Biol. .

Abstract

A new study reports that dendritic cells actively shape the CCL19 chemokine gradient to which they respond and that the chemokine receptor CCR7 both senses CCL19 and mediates its internalisation. Generation of local changes in chemokines allows coordination of movement over longer distances than previous models could explain.
